“I believe our efforts converge to … wish for another immediate, lasting truce,” French Foreign Minister Catherine Colonna said in a joint news conference with her British counterpart David Cameron in Paris, Al Jazeera reports.

Colonna also said that France would take measures along with the country’s partners to put an end to Houthi attacks in the Red Sea.

Cameron said at the news conference that the UK also wants a “ceasefire as soon as possible, but it must be a sustainable ceasefire”.
